Beautiful Winter Ballgowns by Moncler + Pierpaolo Picciolo and Liya Kebede

It's the time of year when certain young women and their families are thinking about debutante balls. These balls entered my consciousness via Whit Stillman's film Metropolitan, in 1990s, and later coverage of Le Bal in Paris.

Growning up on a tiny island in Canada, I couldn't have been further removed from the concept of debutante balls--we were too busy flinging snowballs.

But if I were to attend one, via the process of time travel, I think that these stunning ballgown puffers (a collaboration among Moncler, Pierpaolo Picciolo and Liya Kebede) would not only be appropriate for Canadian winters, but would also bring the requisite level of style.
